Well, the manual does command a premium over the  AT... but they think the
Nak gear does make it worth more. As an Audi and audio nut, I know (BTDT)
this is not really the case. You'd have to want all that gear, as is, to
find this worthwhile, Myself, I think Nakamichi is up there in the audio
hierarchy, and an all-black V8q 5-speed the ultimate type 44 (my favorite
style) so if I could afford it, I might consider it- but I can't, so
there's no point...
